On the morning of September 1, filming will move to a property on Broad Street and later in the afternoon will be based in the town centre.

Mirrington added: 'On this day [September 1] we will have a stop/go traffic management system in place. To facilitate the filming there will be some equipment vehicles and vans parked in loading bays around the area.

'On September 4 we will be returning to the town for some filming on Castle Street near the Eagle House Hotel.

'Our larger film unit vehicles will be parked on the outskirts of Launceston and crew will be shuttled into the town for filming.'

The star-studded series caused a stir last year when several picturesque locations across Devon and Cornwall were picked as filming locations including Pentillie, Bickleigh and the Tamar Valley.

After Pentillie Castle was turned into Leo's Penrose Hotel in a top secret transformation last year, staff at the venue revealed what the experience was like.

The majority of the hotel and racy scenes for series one were filmed all around the estate, including the kitchen garden, Victorian bathing hut and American Gardens.

“It was hugely exciting,” said Sammie Coryton, MD of Pentillie. “We were sworn to secrecy, but it was fascinating to see Dawn, Emilia and the film crew transform Pentillie – and shoot this fantastic new series – which personally I can’t wait to see!”

Filming in Launceston will be particularly welcome for French - less than an hour from her home near Fowey.

The comedy star and best-selling author told the Cornsih Guardian last year: “It was set in Cornwall so I could sleep in my bed at night and see my family, plus Cornwall gets to be the other character in the piece, so it all came together.

“Originally it was set by the sea, but that’s been done by Poldark and Doc Martin, so we did it inland.

“I love the sea, I live by the sea, and it’s so beautiful. But we are showing another side of the place.

“We filmed in all sorts of beautiful areas like the Port Eliot estate and Pentillie Castle. One day we filmed in my brother’s village, Calstock, which was nice.

“But the minute they told me were filming there I thought, ‘Uh oh, how are they going to get trucks through there?’, because it’s tiny. It’s one road in and one road out, built for horse and carts, not big trucks. But the crew were fabulous and they had vans that were three-quarters of the size of the usual ones. And we tried to get in there in the early morning before the village woke up.”
